A) You can apply for child support services at www.michigan.gov/dhs and choose to apply online at MiChildSupport (see "Quick Links" on FOC main page), or complete and mail the "IV-D Child Support Services Application/Referral" form DHS-1201

B) If paternity has been established, a Custody Packet is available at no cost at our Central Filing Office. The packet contains all the forms needed to start a case.

If you have been denied a segment of parenting time listed in a parenting time schedule within your court order, you will need to submit the "Parenting Time Complaint Form" to our office within 56 days of the violation. The caseworker will start the remedy process for the complaint and schedule a hearing, if needed.

You have the right to have the FOC conduct a review of your order every 36 months. Either party can submit a written request for this service. Or, if a party needs an immediate change in the support amount, they should file a court motion requesting the change.
